Our new kitchen and dining area.
This is the birth that I recently helped with last week. It took place in a room at Theresa's house. I helped tie and cut the cord.

The healthy baby boy. Ignore his rude gesture.
The woman's older sister that accompanied her throughout.

Wow, That's pretty cool Doctor Melissen... What a feeling to deliver a baby in the world. I have delivered a few cows in my day but I don't think that can be compared to this! Was Joe taking the pictures? Next time we have a fire I'm sending you for the wood!

Take care you guys

" remember... surprise is on our side!"

Great picture of the baby fingering the camera. I had to show a coworker, we laughed out loud. She loves seeing the pictures & hearing updates about the school in Kabala, (her grandparents are orginally from Sierra Leone)
